I graduated from UC Berkeley in 1994; my advisor was
Bob Cahn,
and my dissertation was on the phenomenology of the
hypothesized Z' particle. I also did some experimental work with the
CDF collaboration in grad school,
and participated in the
discovery of the top
quark. Since then I have worked at SGI, where I was the principal
implementor of the SGI STL;
at AT&T Research; and at Apple.
I'm no longer working on gcc, but
my professional interests continue to include compilers, language
design, library research, and generic programming.
